Healing Hope

Our dear friend Mary Margaret Almonte finished her battle with cancer on Tuesday, May 12, 2015. She was one of the bravest and strongest women we could have ever hoped to have known. Her greatest hope was that Jesus would save her from cancer either temporarily through healing or eternally through death and new life. In His mercy, God has delivered her once and for all.

Healing Hope is a ministry to cancer patients and their families born out of Mary Margaret’s personal experience fighting this disease. While she was undergoing treatments at Mass General Hospital in Boston, Mary Margaret heard the stories of many cancer patients and their struggle to make ends meet because of the high costs of cancer medicine. Determined that no one should have to choose between the medicine they need and paying their rent, Mary Margaret felt led by God to launch a ministry that would help defer some of the costs for these struggling individuals and their families. Through fundraising events, and generous donations, Healing Hope provides gift cards to help patients pay for the costly medicines they need.
